PCHOLD (Server Side) Graphics Overview

In this section:

With Server Side Graphics, a servlet generates graphs on the web or application server and delivers them to the browser as bitmap images (such as .png, .gif, or .jpg) or in a vector format embedded in a PDF document.

There are two options when using servlet. They can be set in cgivars.wfs through the WebFOCUS Administration Console.
